Turns out you heard Trump right the first time on Charlottesville. His amazing Q and A reversal and defense of alt. right rights. So bizarre, it practically drove the possibility of nuclear war with North Korea off the front page. Fortunately, i'm not limited to a front page. There's room for Trump and Co claims that they speak with one voice on N. Korea...when clearly they don't...plus, why you're better off that Maxine Waters reclaimed her time...and didja hear the one about the Treasury Department fining the Secretary of State's old company, Exxon Mobil, 2 million dollars for violating sanctions against Russia...at a time when Rex Tillerson ran the company. Oh, and why Trump attacked Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell. ( Told Through Narration, Music and Soundbites

This program was run through filters for voice-overs, to reduce "clipping" and to "level" the audio.

This program contains soundbites...including... excerpts/montage progression/regression of Trump react to Charlottesville from Sat...to Mon...to Tuesday...again returning to his original assertion that it wasn't just the fault of the nazis, fascists and white supremacists who marched there... including Q and A when CNN's Jim Acosta was the only pool reporter on scene at a Trump event...Montage..excerpts of Al Gore ( Netroots Atlanta) and Sen. Lindsey Graham give first react to Charlottesville while it's still unfolding...montage...Trump excerpts attacking press during Q and A to talk about infrastructure at Trump Tower NYC and trying to assert left equally to blame for Charlottesville violence... You heard the viral music videos based on Rep. Maxine Waters "reclaiming my time"...but did you hear the actual Q and A from the House hearing where she was trying to question Treas. Secy Steve Mnuchin? Why she persisted in reclaiming her time...to ask the questions on Trump and Russia that Mnuchin needed to answer.... montage..State Dept's Heather Nauert/ Donald Trump separately insist the administration is speaking with one voice on North Korea...so why does it seem there are there so many different U.S. positions on N. Korea? and none is aimed at whipping up the war talk? excerpts Q and A State Department briefing where Heather Nauert is asked repeatedly to talk about a 2 million dollar fine levied by the Treasury Department against her boss, Secretary of State Tillerson, for violations of Russia sanctions while he still was running Exxon Mobil. Nauert deflects. excerpts Q and A...Trump attacks Sen. Republican Ldr, Mitch McConnell over failure of repeal and replace...and is asked whether McConnell needs to be replaced....excerpts Elizabeth Warren on what dems should do now ( Netroots)...final thought from Trump Q and A at Trump Tower...sez he knows Charlottesville well...wants you to know he has a big house and a bigger vineyard there....from C Span, media and political websites...for illustrative analysis and commentary purposes.
